George W. Bush was walking through an
airport last week, when he saw an old man with white hair, a long white
beard, wearing a long white robe and holding a staff.

He walked up to the man, who was staring at the ceiling, and said,
"Excuse me sir, aren't you Moses?" The man stood perfectly
still and continued to stare at the ceiling, saying nothing.

Again George W. asked, a little louder this time, "Excuse me sir,
aren't you Moses?" Again the old man stared at the ceiling
motionless without saying a word.

George W. tried a third time, louder yet. "Excuse me sir, aren't you
Moses?" Again, no movement or words from the old man. He
continued to stare at the ceiling.

One of George W.'s aides asked him if there was a
problem, and George W. said, "Either this man is deaf or extremely
rude. I have asked him three times if he was Moses, and he has not answered
me yet."

To which the man, still staring at the ceiling
finally replied, "I can
hear you and yes, I am Moses, but the last time I spoke to a bush, I
spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness."
